It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.8M, and assessed for tax at $2.2M. In the 68 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,106 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 3, with a site energy-use intensity of 152.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 573 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 52% complaint, 68 years of accumulation, a parcel of Bronx — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$4.8M of Bronx, written across 1,106 government filings.
